I think it's self-evidently silly to blame ancient patterns of bigotry on specific assholes who secretly know they're wrong.

This card-shuffling behavior, in service to strict hierarchy, has produced organized violence since at least Sulla's civil war in the Roman republic.

To be clear: this is all that conservatives have ever been. They didn't suddenly get stupid. They've always been making shit up. Some of them do the same thing you're doing - they go 'ah ha, this must be a clever move we all pull, despite being total bullshit.' Nope. The vast majority of them honestly think making shit up is all there is.

The distinction is crucial because we can still teach them that words mean things. Rational argument is a learned behavior.
